Daytime Indulgences and Intimate Experiences

Virgin Voyages knows that every guest has their own pace, and the daytime options reflect a deep understanding of travelers' varied tastes. 

For curling up with a book or quiet conversation with friends, the many indoor and outdoor lounging areas provide a comfortable retreat. Or enjoy the sounds curated by pop-up DJs or live music by talented performers. The Social Club is a popular space in the middle of the ship that offers a laid-back space with a nostalgic arcade, trivia events, and classic board games—perfect for those looking to relax in a quiet yet entertaining environment. Perhaps get nestled into one of the luxurious velvety nooks of The Sip Lounge and enjoy afternoon tea served in style. For a personalized experience, The Groupie karaoke rooms let guests enjoy private sing-alongs with friends. And of course the Casino offers both slot machines and table games. 

And then there’s the Happenings Cast—a Virgin-exclusive ensemble of hosts who infuse the day with spontaneous performances and interactive elements, providing a unique Virgin Voyages signature touch that varies by ship. The Hostess is a fabulous singer and mistress of ceremonies at events throughout the voyage. The Diva is the resident drag queen who brings her flamboyant style to ship events like the PJ Party and cabaret-style performances. The Gamer hosts games and events such as Salty Trivia in the Social Club. The Charmer is a roving magician. The Foodie is the ship’s culinary expert and hosts events like cocktail-making classes. The Artist brings creative opportunities for guests onboard. The Balancer is a wellness expert who leads fitness classes. And there are supporting cast members who bring enthusiasm and energy to events: The Flare, The Spark, The Hype, The Glow, The Bounce.

Luxurious Wellness and Rejuvenation Spaces

Virgin Voyages recognizes that the luxury of travel is not only about experiences but also having time for rejuvenation. The Redemption Spa's thermal suite, complete with soothing steam, mud and salt rooms, heated tile benches, and thermal pools, is the perfect setting for ultimate relaxation; book early to reserve a limited three-hour visit. There are large and well-appointed fitness areas, outdoor walking track and yoga spaces with sweeping ocean views, private meditation corners, and dynamic group fitness classes that offer an ideal balance of tranquility and social engagement. Have you ever wanted to try a 90s Boy Band Dance Class or neon VHS Workout or Bungee fitness? This attention to wellness, combined with the option to shift effortlessly back to the energy of the evening, means that guests enjoy the best of both worlds.

Standout Productions and Theatrical Performances

Virgin Voyages really shines with its theatrical productions that go beyond traditional cruise shows with exclusive, creative performances. Productions like Another Rose (a multi-course dinner with curated beverages set in the intimacy of The Manor), Lola’s Library, and Persephone (where guests and cast members share the floor) deliver unexpected narratives and high-energy song, dance and acrobatic performances. Each show is carefully crafted to draw the audience in, encouraging interaction, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the story. These productions, varying by ship, feel more like private performances in a boutique nightclub than a cruise show, making them perfect for those with refined tastes and an appreciation for the arts.

For a more interactive entertainment experience where guests may be divided into teams or participate directly, The Diva hosts The Great Handbag Hunt, Bingo with the Diva, and Around The World in 80 Minutes. Miss Behave is an adult-themed comedy duo with acrobatics. And the Mind Mangler, a two person cast with a plot that unfolds to a surprise.

Exclusive Nightlife and Themed Events

For guests who seek nightlife that’s as vibrant and chic as a high-end club, Virgin Voyages offers a range of captivating evening options. Take Scarlet Night, for example: a ship-wide party where the vessel is dressed in bold red themes, transforms every corner into an immersive, high-energy event. The Manor, a seductive nightclub inspired by Richard Branson’s original music studio, is a haven for those who enjoy both cutting-edge music and an ambiance that invites everyone to let loose with themes such as 80’s Klub Rubiks. And there are signature events such as the lively poolside PJ Party or We Fancy at the end of the cruise where guests dress up for a final night of revelry.

A Seamless Flow of Day-to-Night Entertainment

Entertainment on every Virgin Voyages sailing is meticulously crafted to allow guests the freedom to tailor each moment of their day. Mornings might start with quiet reflection at the spa or a good workout on a treadmill, while afternoons can be as active or relaxed as desired, whether it’s lounging by the pool or enjoying a fun trivia session. When night falls, the ship transforms to cater to all tastes, with fine dining experiences that complement a sophisticated selection of music and vibrant performances, ensuring every guest finds exactly what suits them. This effortless shift from day to night creates a journey where luxury, personalization, and spontaneity blend beautifully, allowing guests to shape each day at sea to their own desires.
